Watch Edward Snowden Solve a Rubik's Cube in a Minute

Edward Snowden famously used a Rubik's Cube to identify himself to journalists Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras when they first met. He told them to fly to Hong Kong, stand outside a restaurant and look for a man holding a Rubik's Cube. Days later he became one of America's most important whistleblowers, revealing the NSA's mass data collection programs.

Great to see him smile. Very brave what he did, he did it for you people, not for himself.

He is an American hero. I wish him a good life. Unfortunately from what I know of the US, I fear for his life if he returns. Be well and happy, Edward. So many of us are praying for you, sending you our good thoughts and wishes for your well being. Thank you for your bravery.

A pardon never should have even been a thing. More like thank, nominate and name a day after him. Thank you edward snowden. Truly a hero.

First time I've ever actually seen video of Snowden. Seems pretty chill. A modern day, high tech American hero.

Wish Edward Snowden could come home, and remain a free man in this country;working out an agreement with the Government; if that's what he wants. He is a hero in my mind.

It's important to remember how human this "traitor" really is. How his own humanity drove him to act on his beliefs. How he displays genuine qualities that are relatable.

Under such tremendous circumstance and pressure, still smiling and playing around. Hands down.

America in my heart and mind was loved by most and respected by all when they stood for honesty, integrity and fairness, now they rely on the bravery of Edward Snowden and a few patriotic others to champion those beliefs and causes, but see how they treat them; it's shameful. It's not to late, stand up America, and take on board the sayings of Churchill, Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.

What does he have to be apologized for? He did nothing wrong.
